While searching for some pictures, I came across this picture that I missed earlier.

Not very sure if it comes under Acanthaceae.
Seen at Maharashtra Nature Park.
I have only one picture.

For me this is more likely to be from Lamiaceae, may be Anisomeles..


Agreeing with … thought; Anisomeles heyneana.
